Ultimate Midge Protection
Every year we look forward to the warm weather arriving so that we can enjoy the outdoors without looking like the Michelin Man. Unfortunately though, along with the warm days come the bugs, and in Scotland that means midges. These tiny little biting insects start as just a minor irritation but can reduce a hero to a gibbering wreck in a matter of hours. Now consider going camping for days on end with these little critters around and you can see how they might disrupt your holiday.
In the shop we keep midge protection - mesh midge head nets and Jungle Formula (a DEET based liquid). But more and more I'm hearing people recommending Avon Skin So Soft - soft and fresh moisturiser as a way of fending off the midges with less harmful effects than some DEET formulas. There's no denying that DEET stuff like Jungle Formula does work, but it will also melt plastic and the evil taste lingers for hours when you inevitably get some in your mouth. So next time an Avon catalogue is dropped through your door, look up the Skin so Soft and give it a try. (but make sure you've got a head net too) Posted by bigcrags @
